How do I keep drag and drop working in Finder?

Drag and drop sporadically stops working in my new install of Leopard. Anyone know of a workaround/bugfix?

this has been happening to me too, but it's isolated to a handful of applications. logout and back in seems to take care of it.

This has been happening to me in Tiger since i bought this iMac last winter. I posted in the Apple forums and got nothing. I've asked around, and mostly .. yeah.. no one really believes me.

It occurs almost every day, and I've not found it to be related to any particular application.

Restart or logout is the only fix I've found.

I'd love to know the answer. The problem itself isn't big, but since there's no answer, it's a mystery I want to solve.

did you install the 10.5.1 update?

Any difference?
